Are you that strange beast who prefers your cyber life to your real one? Are you out with friends, but 'checking them in' on Facebook? Are you at a party that you're discussing with a follower on twitter? Then my friend, you are phone-snubbing (or phubbing). It's a new Australian term you'll hear more about. …
Sleeping in Sunday Morning
My partner lay against my chest, lightly snoring, in perfect peace. Up until recently this is something he wouldn’t necessarily do. Sure we cuddle every morning, and cringe on a work day when the alarm goes off, negotiating extra time in bed from the day that awaits. Mostly he insists on cuddling me, keeping me …

Will We Speak Up or Be Silent? (#2)
This is a subject close to me as in recent days l saw a deplorable example of bullying and seemed to be the only one concerned about it.
To continue our quest to answer the blogger’s question and concern, “Will We Speak Up or Be Silent”? highlighted below, our first point of view we heard from a Christian “Jesus Needs New PR” , our second point of view comes from a political stand point, lets look at their answer(s) or opinion, another from society’s prospective.

Other People’s Versions
They say that when we watch a movie version of a novel we have read and loved, we’re never truly satisfied with the result. It’s because our own little film version has played out in our head as we read the book. Nothing else seems to compare with our original concepts. One night, two friends …
